Tegallalang Rice Terraces
Tegallalang Rice Terraces, Agricultural terraces in Tegallalang, Indonesia
Description
The Tegallalang Rice Terraces form a system of stacked farm fields on Bali's hillsides, held in place by stone walls and connected by narrow pathways. Water channels run between the levels to irrigate the crops and support the traditional farming methods used across this stepped landscape.
History
Farmers have worked these hillsides for centuries, gradually refining their methods for managing water across the slopes. The techniques for building and maintaining the terraced fields developed slowly through practical experience and local knowledge passed down through generations.
Culture
The irrigation system shapes how water flows through different fields and how farmers work together to manage it. This cooperative approach is woven into daily farm life and reflects how the community values shared resources.
Practical
The best time to visit is early morning when it is cooler and the paths are less crowded with other visitors. Wear sturdy shoes and bring water, as the pathways become slippery in places and the uphill walks require physical effort.
Did you know?
The fields are farmed entirely by hand without machinery, which makes the work physically demanding and time-consuming for local farmers. Despite easier modern alternatives, farmers maintain these methods because they are tied to the water system and how the community operates.
